There were 13 days with measurable, 6 days with a 'T' and 12 dry days. The wettest day was on the 29th with 0.43 inches falling. There was no snowfall recorded for the month. The averaged high for the month was 72.1 degrees vs a normal of 74.4 degrees, a -2.3 degrees below normal. The warmest temp recorded was 86.8 degrees on the 27th. The averaged low was 48.3 degrees vs a normal of 48.0 degrees, a +0.3 above normal. The coldest temp recorded for the month was 37.1 degrees on the 13th. The overall averaged temp for the month was 60.2 degrees vs a normal of 61.2 degrees, a -1.0 below normal. The highest wind recorded was 66 mph on the 5th in a thunderstorm.

Son just moved from Breck to Park City UT this past weekend. He got tired of, and I quote, 'the Californication and odor of Colorado now'...

Careful there in that last pic, I see no sunscreen...

NOT from this corner, YUCK!

Yesterday was OUTSTANDING! I'll take another 75 in a row please, 49-71 about as good as it gets.

Who released the fog machines?

^^ This post SHOULD win some sort of prize....just saying^^

1/2 the trucks in the parking lot at work look like this, can't even fit inside the lines to park!

Whelp, this is a heck of a hole to now dig out of...

Happy Birthday H2O!! Welcome to the 'seasoned citizens' club!

'tis a chilly spot...

SO this is it, last 'great' day and then the HHH start. I'll go walk in comfort for one last time until October......

The massive amount of water past three years may have them stressed.

A few sprinkles this am and in the upper 40's, about 10-12 degrees warmer than previous 4 mornings.

ditto, I had ZERO clue what that was lol

100% with you on that!

37.1 for a low here this morning, but no visible frost. Yard, especially the newly planted part, looks spectacular !!

I know that this isn't normal, but I AM enjoying every day of it, knowing what is inbound ANY DAY now for the next 4 months.... BTW, it wasn't really that cool last 48 hours if you compare it to last year.

Meanwhile up in the mountains of SWVA and WNC....

Good luck!

A B S O L U T E L Y! Enjoy them while you can, the triple nasty H's will be here soon (and long) enough.
